I went to the Lady Dawgs banquet Tuesday night. Spent a lot of time talking with players and coaches. You should join up with our support group if that kind of access suits you. I had a blast spending time with the team and staff. I had a hard time falling to sleep that night because I was so happy I went.
Savannah Henderson told me she has three years of eligibly left to play. Said she was already practicing lightly and thought she would be fully released in about three more weeks.
The twins were very home sick. I found out their father died shortly after they arrived in Athens. It was very hard for them to be so far away from Michigan. And their grandfather recently had a stroke. They want to play much closer to home.
Trinity Turner, Asia Avinger, Savannah Henderson, Miyah Verse, De'Mauri Flourney, Roxanne Makolo and Mia Woolfolk were the seven players who attended.
Mia thinks she really doesn't need to wear the knee brace but our trainers insist on it.
Flournoy has a job working in the Tennessee athletic department for next year. She wants to eventually be an athletic director. She got some good natured booing for that announcement. :-)
Asia wants to be a coach one day. She said if De'Mauri got to be an athletic director, she could hire her as her first head coach.
Trinity Turner and Mia Woolfolk really want to be two of the best players in the country. I told Mia she would have to stop fouling so much to do that. Mia and Miyah promised they would stop fouling next year.
